Equipment Operator careers
Their duties typically include maneuvering machinery such as bulldozers, excavators, cranes, forklifts, and loaders to move materials, dig trenches, or perform earthmoving tasks.
Equipment Operators must follow safety protocols, conduct routine maintenance checks on their machines, and coordinate with other workers on-site to ensure efficient and safe operations.
This role requires a good understanding of machinery controls, physical stamina, and attention to detail to avoid accidents and damage to equipment or property. Operators often work outdoors in varying weather conditions and may need to adapt to different worksites and project requirements.
